ELTIKOM follows the Open Access model, meaning that all published articles are made freely and permanently available online immediately upon publication, without subscription fees, registration requirements, or access barriers for readers.

Readers are permitted to read, download, copy, distribute, print, search, link to the full texts of articles, crawl them for indexing, pass them as data to software, or reuse them for any lawful purpose, in accordance with the Creative Commons license applied, without requesting prior permission from the authors or the publisher.
